Temperatures are due to rise across the UK! It’s important to recognise that heat is not just uncomfortable, it is a workplace health and safety risk.
Heat stress occurs when the body can no longer regulate its internal temperature effectively. This can result in fatigue, reduced concentration, dehydration, heat exhaustion and, in severe cases, heatstroke
